    How to Stop Panicking About Food and Your Body While Travelling

    You spend weeks looking forward to a trip. And then the second you get there, your brain is consumed with thoughts about food and your body.  Constant math about what you've eaten. Dreading the next time you have to put on a bathing suit. Feeling like you're watching your own vacation instead of actually being in it. And this specific kind of shame that comes from knowing you should be relaxed right now, and being completely unable to get there. This episode is about why that happens, and what's actually going on underneath it. We cover why travel makes the food and body anxiety so much louder, why it's not actually about the trip (travel removes the tools you've been using to manage something that was always underneath), the "and then what?" exercise for tracing the fear all the way to its actual root, and what to do with it instead of pushing it down or white-knuckling through. 🔗 LINKS  → JOIN FOOD FREEDOM ACADEMY 💻 Decode Your Food Noise Mini-Course 📲 Instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 💌  Free Newsletter  DISCLAIMER: Live Unrestricted and all content shared by Sabrina are for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.

    The Best (Realistic) Advice On Eating Healthy Without Restricting or Driving Yourself Crazy

    Eating healthy feels SO much harder than it needs to be. In the current age of health and wellness culture, you’re being set up to fail. Too many conflicting opinions, too many rules, confusion, overwhelm… and underneath all of it, a nervous system that's been in survival mode around food for so long that even the word "healthy" can feel like a threat. In this episode, I break down the five most common mistakes that make healthy eating feel impossible. You’ll also know how to simplify it, strip it down to the things that will have the biggest impact and make healthy eating actually easy. This episode is for anyone who keeps trying to eat better and keeps feeling like they're failing. 🔗 LINKS  → JOIN FOOD FREEDOM ACADEMY 💻 Decode Your Food Noise Mini-Course 📲 Instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 💌  Free Newsletter  DISCLAIMER: Live Unrestricted and all content shared by Sabrina are for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.

    The 5-Minute Practice That Changes Everything When You're About to Eat Your Feelings

    You’re becoming aware that you turn to food when you’re feeling overwhelmed or feeling like you’re failing at something, as a way to distract from that discomfort. But even though you now know what’s happening, you can’t seem to stop.  That gap between knowing and being able to actually do something different isn't a willpower problem. It has everything to do with your nervous system.  In this episode, I answer a real question from a member inside Food Freedom Academy: she's aware she reaches for food when she's overwhelmed and feeling like she's failing at work, but knowing it isn't stopping it.  We go into what fight or flight actually does to your brain, why the part of you that emotionally eats thinks it's protecting you, and a four-step practice you can use before you reach for food that doesn't involve taking food off the table. Plus why breathwork and walking aren't arbitrary advice, and what they're actually doing in your nervous system. The goal isn't to never emotionally eat again starting today. It's to build the capacity to be with hard emotions so food doesn't have to do that job alone anymore. One minute at a time. 🔗 LINKS  → JOIN FOOD FREEDOM ACADEMY 💻 Decode Your Food Noise Mini-Course 📲 Instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 💌  Free Newsletter  DISCLAIMER: Live Unrestricted and all content shared by Sabrina are for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.

    30 Lessons I Learned Before 30 (I turn 30 Today!)

    Today is my 30th birthday. Ahhh!!! And after a month away from the podcast, which hasn't happened since I started it, this felt like the right episode to come back with. My 20s were challenging and beautiful and full. Living in Italy, living in France, the pandemic, building a business, falling in love, moving between friend groups, failing A LOT growing A LOT. I am SO proud of my 20s. And I am even more excited for what comes next. In this episode, I'm sharing 30 things I figured out before 30. Some are big life lessons, some are embarrassingly simple, and a few go deep into the stuff I talk about every week: nervous systems, healing patterns, why you can't think your way into change, and why your relationship with food and your body might just be your Mount Everest and what to do about it. This one is a good one to listen to on a walk. Bring a journal if you want to. And if something lands, come tell me over on Instagram.  🔗 LINKS  → JOIN FOOD FREEDOM ACADEMY 💻 Decode Your Food Noise Mini-Course 📲 Instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 💌  Free Newsletter  DISCLAIMER: Live Unrestricted and all content shared by Sabrina are for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.

    The "Wellness Trap" : How To Avoid The Dark Side of Wellness Culture w/ Christy Harrison, RD

    Have you ever found yourself spiraling down the "wellness" rabbit hole? One week you’re told your bloating is from gluten. The next it’s dairy. Then suddenly you’re on your 5th elimination diet, $300 deep in supplements, and still feeling exhausted, anxious, and confused. I know that trap because I lived it. And so did my guest today - Christy Harrison. Christy is a registered dietitian, journalist, host of Rethinking Wellness, and author of the books Anti-Diet and The Wellness Trap. She has spent years pulling back the curtain on how wellness culture often isn’t the solution, it’s just diet culture with green juice and lab tests. In this episode, Christy and I get real about:  ✨ The sneaky overlap between diet culture and wellness culture (and how both make you feel like you’re the problem)  ✨ The “care effect” & why just being heard can make you feel better, even when the treatment itself doesn’t work  ✨ Common wellness buzzwords (root cause, adrenal fatigue, candida) and what they actually mean  ✨ Why we fall for restrictive diets & wellness protocols even when they make us sicker  ✨ How to tell if your pursuit of “healing” is quietly stealing your joy, money, and freedom  ✨ The difference between wellness and true well-being - and how to move toward the latter This isn’t about shaming anyone who’s tried alternative medicine, elimination diets, or supplements. It’s about giving you the clarity, context, and compassion you need to protect yourself from getting stuck in another endless cycle of “fixing.” Christy’s work has helped thousands of people untangle from both diet culture and wellness culture , and after this conversation, you’ll have a new lens for spotting when health advice is helping… or harming. 📚 Resources Mentioned: Substack: https://rethinkingwellness.substack.com/Website: christyharrison.comBook | Anti-Diet:  ChristyharrisonAnti-Diet BookBook | The Wellness Trap: ChristyharrisonThe Wellness Trap Book 🔗 LINKS  → JOIN FOOD FREEDOM ACADEMY 💻 Decode Your Food Noise Mini-Course 📲 Instagram →  @sabrina.magnan.health 💌  Free Newsletter  DISCLAIMER: Live Unrestricted and all content shared by Sabrina are for general informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only.
